Sherman County Court reviews prevention report; declines current drought declaration
Summary
Court received a Written Prevention Quarterly Report and heard commissioner updates. After reviewing drought maps showing normal to dry conditions across most of Sherman County, the court decided not to declare a drought at this time; commissioners also discussed solar tour takeaways and a proposed ordinance on road placement outside solar project fencing.
County Court reviewed the Written Prevention Quarterly Report on July 15; the court noted community activities included at the Harvest Festival and praised staff efforts. The report author (Deanna) was noted for a strong written submission and included photos from the Harvest Festival's bubble station.
During commissioner updates Judge Joe Dabulskis said he attended a solar tour and several meetings and reported that, after reviewing drought maps showing most of Sherman County as normal or dry, the court would not declare a drought at this time. Commissioner Joan Bird updated the court on Sagewind Manor renovations (roof replacement) and local meetings; Commissioner Justin Miller said he attended a Fair Board meeting and asked the court to explore an ordinance to require a road outside the fence line for solar projects; Judge Dabulskis said he would consult County Counsel on the proposal.
No formal action was taken on the drought decision or the proposed solar ordinance at the July 15 meeting; the solar ordinance was listed as an upcoming item for August.
